For 11 years, Girl Scout Service Unit 582 of Isabella County has been giving baby items to the first baby girl born at McLaren Central Michigan on or after March 12, the anniversary of the Girl Scouts. This yearís recipient, Amelia Rose Detwiler, was born March 12. Kirsten Detwiler, of Weidman, was very thankful for all the gifts, which included clothing, blankets, toys, a special Girl Scout onesie, and Girl Scout cookies.

The service unit, which includes around 400 girls across Isabella County at all Girl Scout program levels, raised approximately $200 from cookie sales to purchase the items.
